, Dear Journal, Today is Saturday, November 22, 2008. Saturdays are the days were I get to sleep-in considering I go out with friends on Friday nights. Last night I went skating with everyone. It was fun. Towards the end I actually couldn't stop laughing. Hayley caused this, go figure.Hayley always makes me laugh. Usually on things that don't even make sense or on things that are just funny to us while everyone stares in confusion.But that's what's so great about mine and Hayley's friendship. This morning I woke up and read a couple chapters of my book. This is what I do every Saturday. I had a game at twelve and won. I scored twice in a row.I actually have another game at four thirty for my other team. I play indoor soccer for two teams. Johnston Lightening and Pawtucket Storms. Both teams are in different divisions and are both undefeated and in first place. I play with all my friends which is fun because we're always laughing and having a great time. Soccer is a fun sport but I'm not sure if I want to continue it in high school. I've kind of lost interest in it. Apparently my parents think otherwise. But I believe it is my decision. Hopefully the best is to come.

Dear Journal,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Today is November 27, 2008. I am at my grandmother's right now. Samantha and I are kind of just relaxing right now. We had so much food to eat today. Usually we go to my grandmother's house in Massachusetts, but this year we came to my grandmother who actually lives down the street from us. This Christmas we will be going to Massachusetts & spend Christmas there with them. We sort of switched(: I have a four day weekend .. well actually five. Monday I am visiting Bay View Academy for the day. So technically I'm in school but won't be doing any school work. My mom is constantly telling me that when I visit, visit with an "open mind" Who knows I may like it, I may not. But if I like the visit or not, I still don't know where I will be going next year. My best friend Devyn has been sick for the past week. She came back Tuesday but left early because she felt sick again. I only saw her for fifteen minutes. Last year she was out for half the year. She had a stomach virus that turned out to be very serious. I am very afraid & worried about if she has to go in the hospital again. We grew apart because of it last year, & I won't risk that again. She's my best friend, like my sister. And I just really hope she gets better .. fast. I miss her so much. Hopefully I'll see her again soon<3
-Emma Dear Journal,
Today is December 2, 2008. Here I am, sitting at my computer knowing I have to study for science. But I also need to do my journals so this is why I am here, typing. Today the boys won their game. I am a cheerleader for Ferri Boys Basketball with my two best friends Nisa and Hayley and a bunch of other ones. It's so much fun, especially when the boys are winning. Hopefully I can continue doing cheer leading through out high school. Yesterday I didn't go to school. I went to Bay View and shadowed there to explore a typical day as a Bay View girl. It was ... strange .. I can tell you now I was so not used to it only having girls surround me for six hours. The classes were long, they only have four a day. And the teachers were not as friendly and have fun as the ones I've had here at Ferri since I walked in sixth grade. I have two sisters, Sara and Samantha. Samantha is here at Ferri with me while Sara is at Bay View loving the whole thing. Everywhere I looked I swear I was seeing multiples of her. Sara doesn't care too much on her appearance. Unlike me who likes to get ready and look my best. The girls there were all like Sara. Hair a mess pulled up in a bun, uniform and just ... boring. Some were nice and I liked that but now I totally understand why Sara loves that school. ITS HER TYPE OF SCHOOL. Mine? Not quite. Saturday I take the high school test and I'm kind of nervous. I just hope that next year, I get to go to the school I wish to go to. Is that really too much?
-Emma
P.S Remember how I was talking about my friend Devyn? She was in school yesterday, yeah i know right, figures I'm not there. Today she wasn't in though. I texted her three times and still no answer. We were supposed to hang out Sunday, but never did. I've gotten closer with my other friends and I think she feels left out. Lets hope the best is to come ... Dear Journal,
Surprisingly, life's been ... really well. One of my friend's, Quinci, had a huge party last night. It was a lot of fun. I saw Devyn! She's feeling better. She is actually going to school tomorrow. Things between us are doing really well. I think last night sort of changed that. I was with her, Nisa, Hayley, D, Amanda, Lauren & everyone. It was only her 14th birthday & it reminded me of a 16th. All we did was dance for four hours. It was insane(: The pictures on my Home page are the ones we took at the party. My best friend, D, even made me do karaoke with her. We sang "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. Yes its hard to believe, but we actually won! We won a 25 dollar Visa gift card. So we decided to split it, 12.50 each. Justin owes me a dollar too, because I won. I wish I could go back & go to the party all over again. It was that much fun.
Let's go back. Saturday morning, the morning before the party. I took the Entrance Exam for Catholic Schools at Bay View. Before you think "Oh, that must be her first choice considering she took it there" No. It wasn't. It was my mom's. If it was up to me I would have chosen La Salle or St. Rays. But no, we can't always have it our way. The exam wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard. I actually thought the hardest part was going to be the Math but I thought I did really well. The test was from 8-12. So I was there for a while. There was two Math sections. The second one was the easier one. It was based on the Math that I've learned were as the first section I think was the Math that I'll be learning throughout Freshmen year. But life's going great. So tonight, I'm ending on a good note(:

P.S "Live life with no regrets(:"
Dear Journal,
Today is Thursday, December 11, 2008. Today in Math we had to do our Common Task. I didn't finish, I think most of the class didn't. But so far I think I'm doing good with it. Also in ELA we are doing our Common Task. We have to finish it by tomorrow considering we started Wednesday. I'm almost done with it so I think I'm good for tomorrow. With my day going great in the beginning, no fighting, good lunch, smiling, laughing, every thing's great, until Chorus. Now you probably remember my lovely friend Devyn. Yes the one who was sick. Well she's better now. Our friendship? Not doing that well. We were fine at the party and Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I also thought we were fine yesterday, it seemed it. So today at lunch I waved hi and she waved back. Great so far. But when I see her in Chorus she ignores me. We have assigned seats but she chooses not to sit next to me. I asked to see what she doing in her purse and when I grabbed it she yelled at the top of her lungs. I was so shocked. I had no idea what I had done to make her do this. So I was like alright? And let her be. But every time I looked at her she'd give me a death stare. So when I see her at the end of the day I go "Bye Devyn!" and smile. I go in for a hug but she's motionless and gives me a dirty look. It was ridiculous. So I asked Amanda why she was mad and she told Amanda that I'm always hanging out with Nisa and Hayley ... my two other best friends. Me thinking that's normal to have more than one best friend while she has more than one. But apparently it's not? She has Ang, Lexi, Amanda and a lot others that she hangs out with. But when I start to hang out with different people it's like I've committed crime. I don't get it! Nisa and Hayley are my best friends too. And I am always with Devyn. Why is it so bad that I want to hang out with them for once? So I asked if she was going skating Friday a couple days ago and she said she was and asked me to go. I told her I was going with Hayley and Nisa and she was like "Oh, your new best friends. I guess I'll go with Ang." Yes I felt bad so I told her I'd meet her there and that I'd skate with her. She answered back that she might not skate. Tomorrow night at skating she will probably ignore me. She will tomorrow in school for sure. I will write everything that happens, because I'm sure there will be a lot. Things just don't make sense anymore. -Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is January sixth 2009. Happy New Year ! Sorry I haven't wrote in while. I've been so busy between school work, Christmas , &the the New Year. Christmas was fun, I got everything I asked for. When I didn't expect to. New Years I had Devyn and my best friend from elementary school, Becca sleep over. I haven't see her since May , so I was really happy to see her. Vacation came and went and I miss waking up at noon and sleeping over and hanging out with friends. But here I am, back at school.
One of the reasons why I didn't want to go back was because it was back to History Fair and Science Fair. There really stressful adding homework its just a big mess. I'm working on Science Fair with Nisa and on History fair I'm working with her and Hayley. I think working with your friends could be a lot easier. The time goes by faster and its more fun. Even though we fool around sometimes we always get our work done and serious when needed. Hopefully Science Fair and History Fair go good this year. I'll keep this updated (:

Dear Journal,
Today is January 14, 2009. Today is the day wikispaces are originally due. I haven't finished mine. But Mrs. Horton said that the last day she was checking them would be next week so I'm good until then. All I have left is this journal, two more pieces of work &my reflection question. This week has been a lot. We've been reading a book, The Outsiders, &she gives us this packet and a set of quesitons almost every night. In Civics we have the checklist due, but I've finished that and my studyguide. But in Science we have to do these projects, each are worth an amount of points. &by the end we have to have atleast 40. I started it last week but I need to finish. I think its a little bizarre that she couldn't just give us one. But thats alright. Its not my decision. She's giving us a challenge and thats all AT is about. Challenging us so we can achieve more. I just can't wait till this week is over. Although I still have History Fair &Science Fair to work on but I'll get through it. Hopefully(:

Third Quarter.
Dear Journal,
Today is February 19, 2009. We're on vacation till Monday. Its been alright so far, I just really don't want to go back. I'm very bored right now, and I haven't wrote for a while so I thought I should start considering they're all do March. My grades are going really well, I got all A's except for my 89 in Science. But still over all it was good. I got into St. Rays and Bay View which is really good. If it was my choice I would go to St Rays but its not. I'm starting to take the fact and dealing with myself going to Bay View. I can't do anything about it so I might as well just go along with it and make the best of it. We only have three and half months left of school and then its summer, finally. I've been waiting forever just to hang out all day and go to beach all the time:) Also in summer I'm playing softball with everyone and I can't wait till that starts. I just wish I could take everyone with me next year. I'm sure Alex and Jimmy could do their best to sneak in. But I won't forget anyone and making new friends I will but will never forget my old ones.
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is March 13, 2009. Aka, Friday the thirteenth. My friends and I are wearing black today to celebrate:) But anyways, Science Fair is finally finished! It was due the nineth and its been great not worrying about it. History Fair on the other hand is due Monday, my group (Nisa and Hayley) will pretty much be working on it all weekend. I just can't wait to hand everything in and not worry about it. For Science Fair considering Nisa and I arn't entering States, we didn't have to do a backboard. But for History Fair we had to. It'll be challenging but I'm sure after we complete it and hand it in, we'll be proud ofthe work we've done.
Last night my parents told me how I got into LaSalle, one of my choices. I was upset how I still don't get to choose my highschool. But I'm still glad I got accepted:) We have about two months left of school. I can't wait till summer!:) I miss the beach and hanging out with my friends everyday. But I'm also on three teams for softball, so thats what I'll be doing during the summer as well. But this level is about to end, so I'll write later:)
-Emma
P.S I made the Ferri Softball Team:D
Dear Journal,
Today is March 18, 2009. My week has been really bad. I'd explain it but I'll basically just say you can't trust all the people you want to. Also that don't take too much time worrying about something, because soon it won't be there to take it. Anyways:) My friends made me in a better mood today. Amanda, Mariel and Lauren made me happy at softball, while Nisa gave me advice (things that I should know by now). Also, Lauren and I went to get our toes done which topped everything off:) Oh, and my birthdays the 25th, which is soon! I just don't feel like counting. But hopefully my week ends in a good mood. Just got to stop thinking about the bad things and better things will come my way. Write later(:
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is March 24, 2009. Tomorrow's my birthday, too bad it doesn't feel like it. One, I already got all my gifts and two, I'm usually happy and excited. For the past few days I've been pretty upset (not including the night of my party). Things go from good, to bad, to worse and in a matter of seconds. It's hard to get all happy when you know in a minute something's going to ruin it. Everyone says live for the moment, I'm trying to. The moment doesn't last long enough for me to enjoy. It feels like you want to throw life out the window and thinking that nothing matters anymore. I just wish I don't feel all sad on my birthday, that wouldn't be to good. I'm glad I have friends who make me laugh anytime or anywhere. I seriously don't know what I'd do without them.
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is March 26, 2008. Yesterday was my birthday:) It started out very well and only got better(: Everyone kept wishing me a happy birthday and I liked the attention. Later that night all my friends took me out to UNO and had so much fun. All we did was laugh till our stomachs hurt:) Our waitor seemed to be amused by our stuttering when ordering and trying to add the bill. It was so much much just to not worry about anything adn just talk laugh and eat with the poeple I love. Hopefully we keep doing it for everyone elses birthday. I'm so glad we got to do it:) Softball is doing well. Our first game is tomorrow and I'm so excited. I'm hoping we win, which we probably are, considering were facing CJCR. They're one of the weaker ones in the league. I can't wait for the season to begin. I know for a feeling its going to be great:)
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is March 29, 2009. We won our game against CJCR. I got a hit and stole second, third, and home:) This weekend went by fast, I didn't really do anything. My best friend Nisa is away in Florida for her competition. She comes back Thursday .. or is it Friday? I don't know. But I miss her very much. We talked on the phone Thursday but that's about it. I miss she took me with her. I hate not seeing her or even talking to her .. for a week! But softball is going good. Are season is finally starting and I am so excited. I love playing and laughing at practice with all my friends, it bring us closer:) Hopefully it doesn't go by too fast. I would hate to see it end. But then I have Rec and Select which goes through summer. So summer needs to come like now:)
-Emma Dear Journal,
Today is March 31, 2009. Tonight has been a long night. I was getting into my pajamas when the power goes out and everything goes black. During dinner we had to eat by candle light and do our homework that way. Finally the electric truck came by and all the neighbors came out annoyed. My family all just watched and laughed as we saw them come out in their robes. When we started finishing out homework the lights appeared on as we all began to smile and laugh. It'll be a night I won't forget.
Thursday I have my first home game. I'm sort of nervous because many of my friends are coming. Hopefully I have a good adn game and try my hardest. Today's game we won 10-2. I'm hoping Thursdays game will go that way. When at the games I'm always laughing. I can't help myself when looking at Lauren cheer. Amanda and I make fun of her and she begins to laugh. It's so funny and seems to make my day every time.
-Emma
Fourth Quarter.
Dear Journal,
Today is April 29, 2009. Sorry I haven't wrote in a while. But finally its the fourth quarter. I want summer to come so badly! I love the sun and the beach. I even went in April with Lauren and Amanda. The last few days of school I'll be in Florida. I'm sort of sad because its the last days I'll get to see everyone in school. I have never been to Florida, so I am excited. Hopefully I'll have a good time there and come back to hanging out with all my friends. I have made a new friend. Kristen is next to me as we speak repeating everything I say. To the the computer next to me is Lauren, she's playing this game badly and singing badly. On the other side is Tayla and she just keeps laughing. We just had a fire drill and I love how this journal goes from one thing to the next and can be very random.
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is May 27, 2009. I've been so busy with everything that I'm started to forget about my wiki .. which really isn't good because it's due in about three days. So while I'm working on this I'm working on regular school work, exams, and softball. Today was our second play off game, we lost. But we won our first one I got the winning catch .. and uh kind of ran into the fence, oops. But yes, Ferri Softball ended today which is sad but good in ways. I play travel ball and rec so thats three teams of softball. Usually tuesday and thursdays I play three times .. school till four, rec at 6, and travel at 7:30. So really it makes it easier. In softball I'm the human bandaid/target. My legs are black and blue, swollen, red, and just ugly. Whether it's from sliding or just getting hit with the ball I really wish I just had a new pair of legs. I'll try to write more but I have other homework ..
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is May 31, 2009. Wikispaces are due really tomorrow, but she won't correct them all until the 6th, so I'm lucky on that one. This weekend wasn't as good as it was last weekend. The only good part was that I've become so much closer with my friend Tay Messier from my travel softball team. She goes to mount and I wasn't really close to her in the beginning. My travel softball team has changed alot this year. New coaches, new attitude, new way of playing the game. Some girls have quit, the real important ones, the ones I didn't want quitting, but I have no control on that and I refuse to beg again. Some of us made promises not to quit ... but broke them. While others made promises not to quit ... and didn't. Tay was one of the ones who promised and didn't, which made us closer. Just yesterday I explained everything that had happnened to me in less then twenty minutes and she listened to every word I said. I was upset last and night and she'd text me until I felt better. I did the same thing to her today. It's weird how in just two weeks you can become so close to someone and trust them with your life.
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is June 1, 2009. (Happy Birthday Hayley!) Today was actually a good day. Usually Mondays are my worst days, but surprisingly, I had a great day. No more health for the year! Thank the lord, I rather do gym then health any day. The fun part is I love all the people in my class and all we do is sit with Ms. Lalli, laugh and make fun of each other. I'm starting to get excited about Florida, I have about eight days left and I cannot wait! I know for a fact I'm going to bawl my eyes out when I leave. No doubt about it. I'm leaving the people I've been with for three years, in every class, and it's just ... upsetting. To know that next year I'll be in a class room without all of them. Anyways I have the summer to end it, three months that will hopefully be unforgettable. I can't wait to get to highschool, but leaving my friends is a whole other chapter that I don't want to start.
-Emma
Dear Jounral-
Today is June 5, 2009. It's 10:02 and I'm finishing my wikispace. It's pretty last minute but I'm basically wrapping it up and finishing it tonight. It's friday and raining and my softball game go cancelled. So .. I'm at my BEST FRIEND Taylor's house:) She's mention in a few journals up. But yes here I am (doing my last journal when I really should be doing two more). Today was good until homeroom when people decide to be .. not nice and stubborn. So I did leave the building upset but then my mood got much better as I went home (Taylor) but yes I'll finish this journal on a good note, I'm having fun here so goodnight:)

Dear Journal,
Today is Saturday, November 22, 2008. Saturdays are the days were I get to sleep-in considering I go out with friends on Friday nights. Last night I went skating with everyone. It was fun. Towards the end I actually couldn't stop laughing. Hayley caused this, go figure. Hayley always makes me laugh. Usually on things that don't even make sense or on things that are just funny to us while everyone stares in confusion. But that's what's so great about mine and Hayley's friendship.
This morning I woke up and read a couple chapters of my book. This is what I do every Saturday. I had a game at twelve and won. I scored twice in a row. I actually have another game at four thirty for my other team. I play indoor soccer for two teams. Johnston Lightening and Pawtucket Storms. Both teams are in different divisions and are both undefeated and in first place. I play with all my friends which is fun because we're always laughing and having a great time. Soccer is a fun sport but I'm not sure if I want to continue it in high school. I've kind of lost interest in it. Apparently my parents think otherwise. But I believe it is my decision. Hopefully the best is to come.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Today is November 27, 2008. I am at my grandmother's right now. Samantha and I are kind of just relaxing right now. We had so much food to eat today. Usually we go to my grandmother's house in Massachusetts, but this year we came to my grandmother who actually lives down the street from us. This Christmas we will be going to Massachusetts & spend Christmas there with them. We sort of switched(: I have a four day weekend .. well actually five. Monday I am visiting Bay View Academy for the day. So technically I'm in school but won't be doing any school work. My mom is constantly telling me that when I visit, visit with an "open mind" Who knows I may like it, I may not. But if I like the visit or not, I still don't know where I will be going next year.
My best friend Devyn has been sick for the past week. She came back Tuesday but left early because she felt sick again. I only saw her for fifteen minutes. Last year she was out for half the year. She had a stomach virus that turned out to be very serious. I am very afraid & worried about if she has to go in the hospital again. We grew apart because of it last year, & I won't risk that again.

I told her I was going with Hayley and Nisa and she was like "Oh, your new best friends. I guess I'll go with Ang." Yes I felt bad so I told her I'd meet her there and that I'd skate with her. She answered back that she might not skate. Tomorrow night at skating she will probably ignore me. She will tomorrow in school for sure. I will write everything that happens, because I'm sure there will be a lot. Things just don't make sense anymore.

Today is January sixth 2009. Happy New Year ! Sorry I haven't wrote in while. I've been so busy between school work, Christmas , &the the New Year. Christmas was fun, I got everything I asked for. When I didn't expect to. New Years I had Devyn and my best friend from elementary school, Becca sleep over. I haven't see her since May , so I was really happy to see her. Vacation came and went and I miss waking up at noon and sleeping over and hanging out with friends. But here I am, back at school.
One of the reasons why I didn't want to go back was because it was back to History Fair and Science Fair. There really stressful adding homework its just a big mess. I'm working on Science Fair with Nisa and on History fair I'm working with her and Hayley. I think working with your friends could be a lot easier. The time goes by faster and its more fun. Even though we fool around sometimes we always get our work done and serious when needed. Hopefully Science Fair and History Fair go good this year. I'll keep this updated (:

Today is January 14, 2009. Today is the day wikispaces are originally due. I haven't finished mine. But Mrs. Horton said that the last day she was checking them would be next week so I'm good until then. All I have left is this journal, two more pieces of work &my reflection question. This week has been a lot. We've been reading a book, The Outsiders, &she gives us this packet and a set of quesitons almost every night. In Civics we have the checklist due, but I've finished that and my studyguide. But in Science we have to do these projects, each are worth an amount of points. &by the end we have to have atleast 40. I started it last week but I need to finish. I think its a little bizarre that she couldn't just give us one. But thats alright. Its not my decision. She's giving us a challenge and thats all AT is about. Challenging us so we can achieve more. I just can't wait till this week is over. Although I still have History Fair &Science Fair to work on but I'll get through it. Hopefully(:

Third Quarter.
Dear Journal,
Today is February 19, 2009. We're on vacation till Monday. Its been alright so far, I just really don't want to go back. I'm very bored right now, and I haven't wrote for a while so I thought I should start considering they're all do March. My grades are going really well, I got all A's except for my 89 in Science. But still over all it was good. I got into St. Rays and Bay View which is really good. If it was my choice I would go to St Rays but its not. I'm starting to take the fact and dealing with myself going to Bay View. I can't do anything about it so I might as well just go along with it and make the best of it. We only have three and half months left of school and then its summer, finally. I've been waiting forever just to hang out all day and go to beach all the time:) Also in summer I'm playing softball with everyone and I can't wait till that starts. I just wish I could take everyone with me next year. I'm sure Alex and Jimmy could do their best to sneak in. But I won't forget anyone and making new friends I will but will never forget my old ones.

Dear Journal,
Today is March 13, 2009. Aka, Friday the thirteenth. My friends and I are wearing black today to celebrate:) But anyways, Science Fair is finally finished! It was due the nineth and its been great not worrying about it. History Fair on the other hand is due Monday, my group (Nisa and Hayley) will pretty much be working on it all weekend. I just can't wait to hand everything in and not worry about it. For Science Fair considering Nisa and I arn't entering States, we didn't have to do a backboard. But for History Fair we had to. It'll be challenging but I'm sure after we complete it and hand it in, we'll be proud ofthe work we've done.
Last night my parents told me how I got into LaSalle, one of my choices. I was upset how I still don't get to choose my highschool. But I'm still glad I got accepted:) We have about two months left of school. I can't wait till summer!:) I miss the beach and hanging out with my friends everyday. But I'm also on three teams for softball, so thats what I'll be doing during the summer as well. But this level is about to end, so I'll write later:)

P.S I made the Ferri Softball Team:D
Dear Journal,
Today is March 18, 2009. My week has been really bad. I'd explain it but I'll basically just say you can't trust all the people you want to. Also that don't take too much time worrying about something, because soon it won't be there to take it. Anyways:) My friends made me in a better mood today. Amanda, Mariel and Lauren made me happy at softball, while Nisa gave me advice (things that I should know by now). Also, Lauren and I went to get our toes done which topped everything off:) Oh, and my birthdays the 25th, which is soon! I just don't feel like counting. But hopefully my week ends in a good mood. Just got to stop thinking about the bad things and better things will come my way. Write later(:

Dear Journal,
Today is March 24, 2009. Tomorrow's my birthday, too bad it doesn't feel like it. One, I already got all my gifts and two, I'm usually happy and excited. For the past few days I've been pretty upset (not including the night of my party). Things go from good, to bad, to worse and in a matter of seconds. It's hard to get all happy when you know in a minute something's going to ruin it. Everyone says live for the moment, I'm trying to. The moment doesn't last long enough for me to enjoy. It feels like you want to throw life out the window and thinking that nothing matters anymore. I just wish I don't feel all sad on my birthday, that wouldn't be to good. I'm glad I have friends who make me laugh anytime or anywhere. I seriously don't know what I'd do without them.

Dear Journal,
Today is March 26, 2008. Yesterday was my birthday:) It started out very well and only got better(: Everyone kept wishing me a happy birthday and I liked the attention. Later that night all my friends took me out to UNO and had so much fun. All we did was laugh till our stomachs hurt:) Our waitor seemed to be amused by our stuttering when ordering and trying to add the bill. It was so much much just to not worry about anything adn just talk laugh and eat with the poeple I love. Hopefully we keep doing it for everyone elses birthday. I'm so glad we got to do it:) Softball is doing well. Our first game is tomorrow and I'm so excited. I'm hoping we win, which we probably are, considering were facing CJCR. They're one of the weaker ones in the league. I can't wait for the season to begin. I know for a feeling its going to be great:)
-Emma
Dear Journal,
Today is March 29, 2009. We won our game against CJCR. I got a hit and stole second, third, and home:) This weekend went by fast, I didn't really do anything. My best friend Nisa is away in Florida for her competition. She comes back Thursday .. or is it Friday? I don't know. But I miss her very much. We talked on the phone Thursday but that's about it. I miss she took me with her. I hate not seeing her or even talking to her .. for a week! But softball is going good. Are season is finally starting and I am so excited. I love playing and laughing at practice with all my friends, it bring us closer:) Hopefully it doesn't go by too fast. I would hate to see it end. But then I have Rec and Select which goes through summer. So summer needs to come like now:)

Dear Journal,
Today is March 31, 2009. Tonight has been a long night. I was getting into my pajamas when the power goes out and everything goes black. During dinner we had to eat by candle light and do our homework that way. Finally the electric truck came by and all the neighbors came out annoyed. My family all just watched and laughed as we saw them come out in their robes. When we started finishing out homework the lights appeared on as we all began to smile and laugh. It'll be a night I won't forget.
Thursday I have my first home game. I'm sort of nervous because many of my friends are coming. Hopefully I have a good adn game and try my hardest. Today's game we won 10-2. I'm hoping Thursdays game will go that way. When at the games I'm always laughing. I can't help myself when looking at Lauren cheer. Amanda and I make fun of her and she begins to laugh. It's so funny and seems to make my day every time.

Fourth Quarter.
Dear Journal,
Today is April 29, 2009. Sorry I haven't wrote in a while. But finally its the fourth quarter. I want summer to come so badly! I love the sun and the beach. I even went in April with Lauren and Amanda. The last few days of school I'll be in Florida. I'm sort of sad because its the last days I'll get to see everyone in school. I have never been to Florida, so I am excited. Hopefully I'll have a good time there and come back to hanging out with all my friends. I have made a new friend. Kristen is next to me as we speak repeating everything I say. To the the computer next to me is Lauren, she's playing this game badly and singing badly. On the other side is Tayla and she just keeps laughing. We just had a fire drill and I love how this journal goes from one thing to the next and can be very random.

Dear Journal,
Today is May 27, 2009. I've been so busy with everything that I'm started to forget about my wiki .. which really isn't good because it's due in about three days. So while I'm working on this I'm working on regular school work, exams, and softball. Today was our second play off game, we lost. But we won our first one I got the winning catch .. and uh kind of ran into the fence, oops. But yes, Ferri Softball ended today which is sad but good in ways. I play travel ball and rec so thats three teams of softball. Usually tuesday and thursdays I play three times .. school till four, rec at 6, and travel at 7:30. So really it makes it easier. In softball I'm the human bandaid/target. My legs are black and blue, swollen, red, and just ugly. Whether it's from sliding or just getting hit with the ball I really wish I just had a new pair of legs. I'll try to write more but I have other homework ..

Dear Journal,
Today is May 31, 2009. Wikispaces are due really tomorrow, but she won't correct them all until the 6th, so I'm lucky on that one. This weekend wasn't as good as it was last weekend. The only good part was that I've become so much closer with my friend Tay Messier from my travel softball team. She goes to mount and I wasn't really close to her in the beginning. My travel softball team has changed alot this year. New coaches, new attitude, new way of playing the game. Some girls have quit, the real important ones, the ones I didn't want quitting, but I have no control on that and I refuse to beg again. Some of us made promises not to quit ... but broke them. While others made promises not to quit ... and didn't. Tay was one of the ones who promised and didn't, which made us closer. Just yesterday I explained everything that had happnened to me in less then twenty minutes and she listened to every word I said. I was upset last and night and she'd text me until I felt better. I did the same thing to her today. It's weird how in just two weeks you can become so close to someone and trust them with your life.

Dear Journal,
Today is June 1, 2009. (Happy Birthday Hayley!) Today was actually a good day. Usually Mondays are my worst days, but surprisingly, I had a great day. No more health for the year! Thank the lord, I rather do gym then health any day. The fun part is I love all the people in my class and all we do is sit with Ms. Lalli, laugh and make fun of each other. I'm starting to get excited about Florida, I have about eight days left and I cannot wait! I know for a fact I'm going to bawl my eyes out when I leave. No doubt about it. I'm leaving the people I've been with for three years, in every class, and it's just ... upsetting. To know that next year I'll be in a class room without all of them. Anyways I have the summer to end it, three months that will hopefully be unforgettable. I can't wait to get to highschool, but leaving my friends is a whole other chapter that I don't want to start.

Dear Jounral-
Today is June 5, 2009. It's 10:02 and I'm finishing my wikispace. It's pretty last minute but I'm basically wrapping it up and finishing it tonight. It's friday and raining and my softball game go cancelled. So .. I'm at my BEST FRIEND Taylor's house:) She's mention in a few journals up. But yes here I am (doing my last journal when I really should be doing two more). Today was good until homeroom when people decide to be .. not nice and stubborn. So I did leave the building upset but then my mood got much better as I went home (Taylor) but yes I'll finish this journal on a good note, I'm having fun here so goodnight:)
